Seven people, including a representative of Barisan Nasional, have bought 14 sets of nomination forms up to today for the Tanjong Datu state by-election this month, according to the Election Commission.
Sarawak EC director Takun Sunggah told Bernama today that each of the seven people bought two sets of the forms.
Nomination for the by-election is on Saturday (Feb 4) and polling on Feb 18.
The by-election is being held following the death of the assemblyperson and Sarawak chief minister Adenan Satem on Jan 11.
Adenan polled 6,360 votes in the state election in May last year to beat his opponent, Jazolkipli Numan of PKR, by a majority of 5,892 votes.
Takun said 250 EC staff would be deployed for the by-election.
